The intensity of the infiltrating eosinophil response was graded on an arbitrary scale of 0-4 (0 = no response; l=mild response, 2 = moderate response; 3 = strong response; 4 = sever response, as judged by the density of leukocytes infiltrating to the peribronchial and peribronchiolar tissues).
Map of Virginia with the Northern Neck region shown in red. The Northern Neck is the northernmost of three peninsulas (traditionally called necks in Virginia) on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in the Commonwealth of Virginia (the other two are the Middle Peninsula and the Virginia Peninsula).
Necking, in engineering or materials science, is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material.[1] The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name neck. Because the local strains in the neck are large, necking is often closely associated with yielding, a form of plastic deformation associated with ductile materials, often metals or polymers.
